IN the mag
Get your March issue of FourFourTwo now! The World Cup campaign has started so we sat down with Mark Bresciano and Scott McDonald for a chat. Yeah McDonald - he's the one who's scoring all those goals for Celtic. It's also heating up in the Premier League so we just had to interview the major players - Rooney, Adebayor, Lampard and Carragher stopped by to talk.
But football's not all about watching - it's time to strap on the boots and get down to the park for the new season, so this month's FourFourTwo has all the best new kit covered in our 30-page Kit Guide.
